ncftp-3.0.1

Since the cygutils version of ncurses was obsoleted by a newer version of ncurses in the official cygwin distribution, this ncftp may break if you don't have the cygutils ncurses installed on your machine. There are a number of ways to fix this:

• make sure the 'official' ncurses package is installed and put 'export TERMINFO=/usr/share/terminfo' in ~/.bash_profile
• make sure the 'official' ncurses package is installed and 'ln -s /usr/share/terminfo /usr/local/share/terminfo'
• make sure the 'official' ncurses package is installed, and recompile ncftp from source so that it links with the new ncurses. Then, it will use the /usr/share/terminfo database by default, instead of looking for the (old) /usr/local/share/terminfo database.
• download and install the cygutils version of ncurses. This is NOT recommended.

Builds out-of-box (mostly).
